Forest Department to Request Collectors Action on Tree Felling in Idukkis CHR Land

The Forest Department is set to request the District Collector and the Sub-Collector of Devikulam to take appropriate action against the owner of the Gudanpara estate. This action arises from allegations of repeated violations of lease conditions associated with cardamom title deeds on land within the Cardamom Hills Reserve.

The Cardamom Hills Reserve, known for its rich biodiversity and significant ecological importance, plays a crucial role in the conservation of local flora and fauna. Recent inspections have indicated that the estate owner may not be adhering to the stipulations outlined in the lease agreements, which are designed to protect this sensitive environment.

If the District Collector and Sub-Collector take action, it could involve penalties or restrictions on land use to encourage compliance with environmental regulations. The Forest Departments initiative highlights the ongoing efforts to safeguard the Cardamom Hills Reserve from practices that could undermine its ecological integrity.
